Three armed men wearing ski masks burst into a Deltona house Monday morning, rousting three adults and a 7-year-old girl from sleep, Sheriff's officials said.

No one was injured in the home invasion that took place just before 1 a.m., said Sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught, but the suspects took off with cash, purses and electronics.

Haught said individuals inside the residence at the 3200 block of Pigeon Cove Street said the intruders broke in through the back door of the house. One of the gunmen entered a bedroom where two adults were asleep, and he ordered them to stay in bed, Haught said.

Another suspect found the third adult asleep on the couch. Investigators do not believe the youngster was confronted by the robbers.

The residents told investigators that the men stayed about 10 minutes, then took off by the front door, Haught said.

One of the robbers was wearing a yellow zip-up hoodie and had a black handgun. He was about 5 feet 4 inches tall, Haught said. A second suspect wore a black leather jacket. There was no information provided on the third man.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office, 386-860-7030, or Crime Stoppers, 888-277-TIPS (8477).
